FEC is After Trump Big Time for Anonymous Donations, Inflating #s, Other Violations
by OpenSecrets Staff | 6:47 pm, January 11th, 2017
The Federal Election Commission on Tuesday sent its harshest letter yet to Donald Trump’s campaign committee, outlining violations that include accepting large donations from anonymous sources, taking contributions above the legal limits, failing to file reports of last-minute contributions and more.
It wasn’t the first such admonishment of the Trump campaign by the agency; he has been warned about similar matters in the past. This letter refers to Trump’s campaign finance report covering the period from Oct. 20-Nov. 28, 2016.
Both of Trump’s joint fundraising committees were called out by the FEC for some of the same kinds of transgressions in separate letters.
Besides that, Trump’s campaign, which reported raising $328 million for the 2016 election (including $66 million from Trump himself) has been noting refunds to donors who give more than is permissible in an unusual way that inflates his actual fundraising total.
